At least 20 people died after a bus caught fire following a collision with a motorcycle near Kurnool in Andhra Pradesh. Police said the motorcycle rammed into the bus from behind and became stuck under its fuel tank, triggering an explosion that engulfed the vehicle. Eleven bodies have been identified and nine remain unidentified; some bodies were badly charred. Eighteen passengers escaped, some by breaking windows, while many were asleep and a possibly jammed door likely increased fatalities. Authorities launched an investigation. National leaders offered condolences and announced compensation for victims and the injured.
